Fernando Torres

He will start against manchester city, more space = better for torres

Must say, Fernando has looked pretty good under Mourinho. If he keeps it up for the rest of the season he'll go some way to justifying his price tag (finally).

It's far too late for that. He will never come close to justifying a 50m transfer fee and 10m a season salary. The only thing he can do now is be less of an abject failure than he has been for most of his time at the club.

Yeah I'm not disagreeing. He'll never fully justify it, that's nearly impossible, what I am saying is that he'll atleast repay/justify some of it back if he has a good season. But he needs to grab a lot of (important) goals like the two against Schalke or the one against Bayern for that to happen.

Agreed. He needs to start scoring in the league too; just one in his last 25 league games.

Far too many times he has looked good then faded for a handful of games.

Torres's work rate vs Eto'o's quick movement and finishing vs Demba Ba's off the ball movement.

About time we have variety to choose from.

Can anyone verify if this is true?

100 matches:

Didier Drogba: 41 goals

Fernando Torres: 39 goals

Except it's not 100 matches for Torres, but 100 starts. It's 38 goals in 141 matches including 100 starts and 41 sub appearances. While DD had 41 goals in his 100 appearances between starts and sub appearances.

On any account, what Didier offered for Chelsea beside goals, as a target man, as the center of attack and often center of the whole team, as a leader and big game player, can never be compared to what Torres does.

Also goals are goals but Drogba scored goals against the highest caliber of oppositions and many of Torres goals came against Europa League opponents and as you say Drogba just offered many other things than goals. The amount of goals he got us that got us trophies and decided big games were priceless.

Thank you, didn't realise Torres has a Instagram

[couris 232]

Too late for repaying the 50m? If he plays like he was in Liverpool he will be worth 100m.

Sure he would

The problem with Torres is he scores and plays well in spades, that's good for a squad player (as he has been this season) but as numero uno up front we can't afford to have a player who blows hot and cold, as we found out last season.

Im happy he is on good form because it helps Chelsea football club but is Schalke and Tottenham games going to convince me he has finally made a spectacular turn around after the two and a half years he has served us? sorry buy it takes more to sway me and if he didn't cost £50m there would be a lot more people with the same view.

Kalou hit top form under Ancelotti at the end of the double season too and helped us win the league, didn't change the fact he was an erratic squad player at best.

I hope he can atleast keep up the good form he has done in recent weeks, but it going to take a lot more than that to sway my opinion.

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

In today's market, I wouldn't even be surprised tbh. Especially with Perez still in charge

I partially disagree.

I say it's blasphemy ever comparing Torres to DDA, but Torres has scored against highest caliber of oppositions too. He may have not scored enough times, but he's scored especially in Europe.

[Spike 12,049]

I don't hate him anymore. I just can't. I've accepted what he is and moved on.
